INVISIBLE THREAT

Nature is within us. It breathes us, just as we breathe it.
But what happens when humans turn what sustains them into something toxic?
Air becomes a testimony to human action saturated with traces of greed, ignorance, and convenience.
It is not only the space around us that is polluted, but the very essence of our being.

And yet, this is where the potential for reversal lies:
Each breath reminds us that change is possible and necessary.

VISIBLE CONSEQUENCES

The colorful, AI-generated gas masks used as the backdrop for her monumental portraits are striking symbols of a threat that is often beautified or denied a visual warning against the ignorance of our time.
They urge us to confront the forces that threaten our existence before its too late

ANIMATED CONTRAST

In these short animations, a symbol of hope always appears
subtle, quiet, and almost absurdly gentle
a visual counterpoint to the surrounding heaviness.
This consciously exaggerated softness is no accident,
but a conceptual contrast:
It unsettles and precisely through that,
it opens a space for reflection.

Deep within each of us
lives a childlike longing
for a world we might still be able to heal.

Inner Monologue
I listen even when everything screams.
The world flickers, roars, overlays.
And yet, I find a place within me
that whispers: Not all is lost.
Its loud but I wont give up.
